Mike Szabo Quotations

We had bad spacing. We had our chance in the end.

He did a great job and just made things happen.

He was taking it to the rack and making big baskets.

He just stepped up and made a play. That was a huge play.

We just didn't meet their aggressiveness. Ballard must have gotten eight or 10 offensive rebounds in the first half. We didn't do a good job getting each other open and setting screens. We played too tentative.

We needed this so bad. We had been so close in so many games, and to finally get over the hump is so big for our confidence.

I've seen it all in a short period of time this season. Wow. It was very strange.

They played tougher, period. When you show up and play soft, you get beat by 20.

In the overtime, we had the ball with under a minute to go and turned it over. They get a steal and are fouled for a three-point play. Those are the kinds of plays that are killing us.

Byron did a nice job of taking over for us at the end. But the light didn't come on until a little too late. Give them credit. They played well and made shots when they got decent looks.

These guys continue to prove to me how tough they are both mentally and physically. That was a gutsy performance.
